I check out NFL boards when a CFL'er goes to one, and it seems there is alwat a canadian on the board that always comes out and says ,I am from canada and the CFL sucks or so and so in no good . I could never understand why they have to be so critical of our league. It seems like they are trying to impress the other american posters on the board.
...I changed your quote there to prove a point, that there are bascially three types of football fans in canada:
a) those that love the CFL and hate the NFL
b) those that love the NFL and hate the CFL
c) those that enjoy football regardless of the league
(those that love the UFL/XFL/etc and universally hate everything else are a statistcal anomaly)
...my point is why care about what someone's preferences are? why get bent out of shape if some guy from canada prefers the NFL over the CFL? cripes it seems that every day there is this perceived 'issue' and some ongoing inferiority complex that has to be dealt with
...it's probably true though, I've found that anyone I've talked to that played the game (myself included) enjoys both leagues, they simply love the sport and don't get too fussed about the nuances between the two leagues...
What answer were you hoping to find here to such a question? Who knows why people do what they do but, be glad you live in a free country where you can state an opinion without fear of being stoned or cained.
